Sweet Pea - Little Sweetheart
The Sweet Pea Little Sweetheart, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very dwarf, bushy type with many small flowers close to the foliage. Try this plant in your hanging baskets and other containers. Little Sweetheart is not your ordinary vining, climbing sweet pea. This plant is a dome of foliage with profuse, small flowers of pink, white, rose, lilac and blue. They are charming in patio pots, window boxes and in borders. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea Pastel Sunset is very early planting. The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. Use lots of peat or compost for early spring planting. Plant this Sweet Pea in full sun, but in a cool a spot as possible. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom. ... additional information
